< 2 Samuel 24 >

1 And again the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them saying, Go, number Israel and Judah.
Yon jou, Seyè a move sou pèp Izrayèl la ankò. Li fè David lakòz malè tonbe sou yo. Seyè a di David al konte konbe moun ki nan peyi Izrayèl ak nan peyi Jida.
2 And the king said to Joab the captain of the host, who was with him, Go, I pray thee, through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.
Wa a pale ak Joab, kòmandman an chèf lame a, ki te la avè l', li di l' konsa: -Ale nan tout branch fanmi Izrayèl yo, depi lavil Dann nan nò jouk lavil Bètcheba nan sid. Konte mezi moun ki nan pèp la. Mwen vle konnen konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a.
3 And Joab said to the king, May Jehovah thy God even add to the people, how many soever they be, a hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
Men, Joab di wa a: -Monwa, mwen mande Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou li fè pèp Izrayèl la vin san fwa pi plis pase jan li ye koulye a, lèfini pou monwa ka viv lontan pou wè sa! Men, poukisa, monwa, ou vle konte konbe moun ki nan peyi a?
4 But the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
Men, wa a pa t' soti pou li chanje lòd li te bay la. Konsa, Joab ak lòt gwo chèf lame yo te blije soumèt yo. Yo soti devan wa a, yo pati, y' al konte konbe moun ki nan peyi Izrayèl la.
5 And they passed over the Jordan, and encamped in Aroer, on the right side of the city that is in the midst of the ravine of Gad, and toward Jaazer.
Yo travèse larivyè Jouden, y' al moute kan yo lavil Awoyè, nan mitan fon an, nan pòsyon tè ki pou branch fanmi Gad la. Apre sa, yo pati pou Jazè bò nan nò.
6 And they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi; and came to Dan-jaan, and to the environs of Sidon;
Y' al lavil Galarad, yo pase lavil Kadès nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Et yo, jouk yo rive Dann. Yo mache nan tout zòn lan, apre sa y' ale lavil Sidon sou bò lwès.
7 and they came to the fortified city of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites; and went out to the south of Judah, to Beer-sheba.
Lèfini, yo desann nan direksyon sid, yo rive nan Fò Tir la, yo pase nan tout bouk moun Iva yo ak bouk moun Kanaran yo, yo rive Bècheba nan zòn Negèv nan peyi Jida a.
8 And they went through all the land, and came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
Se konsa yo mache nan tout peyi a. Apre nèf mwa ven jou, yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm.
9 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king; and there were of Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
Joab renmèt wa a rapò ki bay kantite moun antou ki te gen nan tout peyi a. Se konsa yo te jwenn witsanmil (800.000) gason ki ka fè lagè epi ki konn sèvi ak nepe nan peyi Izrayèl la ak senksanmil (500.000) nan peyi Jida a.
10 And David's heart smote him after he had numbered the people. And David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, I beseech thee, Jehovah, put away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
Lè David fin fè konte konbe moun ki gen nan peyi a, konsyans li konmanse repwoche l'. Li di Seyè a: -Lè m' fè sa m' fè a, mwen fè yon gwo peche. Tanpri, Seyè, padonnen m', se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Mwen te aji tankou moun fou.
11 And when David arose in the morning, the word of Jehovah came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
Nan denmen maten, antan David ap leve sot nan kabann li,
12 Go and say to David, Thus saith Jehovah: I impose on thee three [things]; choose one of them that I may do it unto thee.
Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Gad, konseye David la, li di l' konsa: -Al di David mwen ba li twa chatiman pou li menm li chwazi yonn ladan yo. Sa l'a chwazi a se sa m'a fè l'.
13 And Gad came to David, and told him, and said to him, Shall seven years of famine come to thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine adversaries while they pursue thee? or shall there be three days' pestilence in thy land? Now be aware and consider what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
Gad vin jwenn li lakay li. Li fè l' konnen mesaj Seyè a te ba li a. Li di l' konsa: -Kisa ou vle? Sèt lanne grangou nan tout peyi a, twa mwa ap kouri devan lènmi ou, osinon twa jou epidemi nan tout peyi a. Al kalkile sou sa pou ou fè m' konnen ki repons pou m' pote bay moun ki voye m' lan.
14 And David said to Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah; for his mercies are great; but let me not fall into the hand of man.
David reponn: -Mwen nan gwo tèt chaje! Men, m' pa vle tonbe anba men lèzòm menm! Pito se Seyè a menm ki pini m', paske li gen bon kè.
15 And Jehovah sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the set time; and there died of the people from Dan even to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
Se konsa Seyè a voye yon epidemi sou pèp Izrayèl la, li konmanse menm jou maten sa a pou twa jou, jan l' te di a. Depi lavil Dann nan nò rive lavil Bètcheba nan sid peyi a, swasanndimil (70.000) moun nan pèp Izrayèl la mouri.
16 And the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it; but Jehovah repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed among the people, It is enough: withdraw now thine hand. And the angel of Jehovah was by the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Lè zanj Seyè a te prèt pou lonje men l' sou lavil Jerizalèm pou detwi l', Seyè a fè lide sispann chatiman an. Li di zanj ki t'ap touye moun yo: -Sispann! kenbe men ou! Lè sa a, zanj lan te gen tan toupre gwo glasi Araounak, moun lavil Jebis la.
17 And David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the angel that smote among the people, and said, Behold, it is I that have sinned, and it is I that have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? let thy hand, I pray thee, be on me, and on my father's house!
David wè zanj lan ki t'ap touye moun yo, li pale ak Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Se mwen menm ki koupab. Se mwen menm ki fè sa ki mal la. Kisa inonsan sa yo fè? Tanpri, se mwen menm ansanm ak fanmi mwen pou ou ta pini!
18 And Gad came that day to David, and said to him, Go up, rear an altar to Jehovah in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
Men, jou sa a pwofèt Gad al jwenn David, li di l' konsa: -Moute lakay Araounak, moun lavil Jebis la, bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a nan mitan gwo glasi a.
19 And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as Jehovah had commanded.
David koute sa Gad te di l' la, li moute lakay Araounak jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
20 And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on towards him; and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
Araounak t'ap gade, li wè wa a ki t'ap vin sou li ansanm ak chèf li yo. Li tonbe ajenou devan wa a, li bese tèt li jouk atè.
21 And Araunah said, Why is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to build an altar to Jehovah, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
Li di l' konsa: -Monwa, sa ki mennen ou isit lakay mwen? David reponn li: -Mwen vin achte anplasman glasi a pou m' bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, konsa epidemi an va sispann nan peyi a.
22 And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up that which is good in his sight: see, [here are] oxen for the burnt-offering, and the threshing-sledges and implements of the oxen for wood.
Araounak di l' konsa: -Monwa, ou mèt pran l'. Ofri Seyè a sa ou vle. Men bèf sa yo pou ou boule nèt tankou yon ofrann sou lotèl la. Men jouk yo ak bwa kabwa yo pou fè dife.
23 All these things, O king, doth Araunah give to the king. And Araunah said to the king, Jehovah thy God accept thee.
Araounak bay wa a tout bagay sa yo. Lèfini, li di: -Mwen mande Bondye pou l' asepte ofrann ou an!
24 And the king said to Araunah, No; but I will in any case buy [them] of thee at a price: neither will I offer up to Jehovah my God burnt-offerings without cost. And David bought the threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Men wa a reponn li, li di l': -Non. Se achte m'ap achte. Se pou m' peye pou yo. Mwen p'ap pran anyen ki pa koute m' lajan pou m' ofri pou boule nèt pou Seyè a. Se konsa, David achte anplasman glasi a ansanm ak tout bèf yo pou senkant pyès ajan.
25 And David built there an altar to Jehovah, and offered up burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. And Jehovah was propitious to the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
Lèfini, li bati yon lotèl pou Seyè a, li fè ofrann pou boule nèt pou Bondye ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi. Seyè a tande lapriyè yo pou peyi a. Epidemi an sispann nan peyi Izrayèl la.
